@rockorager thanks for adding that patch it is pretty essential with all these command-line tools (I missed that part earlier)!

as simple as this function might seem, it has reduced the number of remotes I have by large numbers:

function git-fetch-tag { git fetch --no-tags "$1" "refs/tags/$2:refs/tags/$2"; }

#git #note

@jjdavis yeah, it wraps qemu nicely IMHO (and so libvirtd) :-)

#ubuntu #multipass look like something for my needs as i use mostly ubuntu virtual machines for test #kernel's. especially it could replace #vmware fusion in my mac mini, which I use to test #arm64 kernels. in my #linux desktop it is not as useful because #libvirtd and #qemu are already perfect for my needs.

@mwcz Yeah, I know :-) I was more interested on user space workloads (should have mentioned). Fair argument in any case.

i wonder in what state is explicit heap oom handling in #rust today. it was still pretty bad year ago.

especially i’m interested what has been already fixed when mirroring against a great #analysis from #crowstrike’s blog.

#rustlang #programming

Taking care of the #finance with #awk :-)

$ awk '!/Payer/ {amount[$1] += $2} END { for (i in amount) print i " " amount[i]}'  2023-08.csv

I always return to #ctags once tried on LSP. E.g. it does not have dependency hell bundled. It always works as expected. Even with LSP I always disable auto-complete, which takes away a lot of its value, assuming that you care about this feature in the first place.

git grep -l -v "\.ident =" | xargs git grep -l "\.callback =" | xargs git grep -l "\.matches = "

I wanted to find all files, which have DMI table entries with matches and callback set, but not ident. #git #note #linux #kernel

I’ve became by accident pretty seasoned with cmake. Never wanted to learn it particularly but it is not too bad. I use it at work.

I like at least these two features of cmake:

I also like that it is focused on C/C++ rather than trying to be everything, which is really a fresh breath of air these days. I rather use it at least than autotools :-)

#cmake #kitware

this could be used to remove a lot of .incbin boilerplate from #linux #kernel.

The most trivial C program to take advantage of this would be something like:

int main(int  argc, char ** argv)
{
        const char __attribute__((unused)) payload[] = {
#embed <data/payload.bin>
        };

        return 0;
}

#embed is a welcome addition to #C, as using incbin has added a lot of unwanted boilerplate. #C23 #ISO #standard
